These past two weeks have been absolutely crazy! I have not even had the time to my favourite thing, write my blog. So this week I am going to cheat – I am going to only make a few things that I can mix and match.
Weekend cooking – Black beans in the slow cooker.
Monday – Roast chicken with orzo and green vegetables. I am making a big chicken so I have lots of leftovers.
Tuesday – Burritos with black beans and chicken
Wednesday – Greek salad with steamed fish – this is a definite cheat – Bird’s Eye Simply Fish is on sale.
Thursday – Rice and beans with salsa, maybe with some chicken if there is any left
Friday -Steak with mashed haricot beans and salad
Saturday - Stock in slow cooker then risotto
Sunday – hopefully going out for anniversary meal
Sorry to be so boring lovely readers, but I need to get some stuff done as I am behind the eight ball. I am hoping that with this cheat week , I can write some fantastic posts for you and hopefully get a tiny bit a head.
I had a realization this weekend; I feel so much better when I sleep properly. I know this is common knowledge but I have figured out that I get more tired as the week progresses. I have two evenings when I get home especially late then go to bed later than normal after cooking and cleaning up so I have decided that the way to go is to plan two super easy, quick to make dinners. These fast meals might include leftovers.
Last week’s jerk chicken with rice and peas was a big success except I made way too much rice so this week is starting with leftovers. A word of advice read your recipe before you dive in.
